Default sick then blood in phlem?

*WARNING GROSS*

So I vomited about 15 minutes ago and after I threw up I brushed my teeth then I noticed some blood so I check my teeth then I cough and there is phlem and blood, not really mixed but kinda attached to each other and now I am freaking out. Clear phlem only when I cough up yhe phlem or force myself to kinda clear my throat do I get blood at first there was some each time but there is less and less each time now. I am scared. I did do some laundry earlier and got bleach on two fingers but washed my hands three times before even touching anything if that is a factor. I have dust issues and am going between home, bf's, work and school. Maybe is this just a rapture in the throat since it was violent vomiting? And is that serious?

If it was a particularly explosive puke then I think that's actually pretty normal but I'm not a doctor. If turns into a chronic thing you should definitely make an appointment with one though.

Hmmm, idk. :/

But to be a nag, I don't think it's good to brush your teeth right after vomiting. It's bad for your teeth.

Quote:
Suggestions include:

Don’t brush your teeth immediately after vomiting. While the teeth are covered in stomach acids, the vigorous action of the toothbrush may scratch the tooth enamel.
Rinse your mouth thoroughly with plain tap water.
Follow up with a fluoridated mouthwash.
If you don’t have a fluoridated mouthwash, put a dab of fluoridated toothpaste on your finger and smear it over your teeth. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Brush your teeth at least an hour after vomiting.

But could be wrong....
